INHERE was as
usual a fam-
S] ily roun ion
ffc on New
Year's day at the White homestead,
and the cousins were saying as they sat
around the large open fireplace in the
old long kitchen now used as a dining
room as the night closed in:
"Do you remember this reunion? and
♦hat reunion?" and as the details of
former frolics were recounted the large
room resounded with peals of laughter.
In a little hush Aunt Susanna, who
was nearly ninety, said: "I can re
member a New Year's eve nearly two
hundred years ago."
"Oh, Aunt Susannal" "What a mem
ory!" "flow can that be?"
"Oh, 1 have heard so many old-time
stories that I seem to recall events ever
since my grandmother was a girl."
"Oh, tell us the very oldest story you
can think of, Aunt Susanna," they all
clamored, and the lovely old gentle
woman told it after the manner follow
ing:
I twill do you young people who are so
fond of taking your ease no harm to
hear how your ancestors roughed it
when the country was new.
My grandparents moved from Mans
field to Dublin, N. 11., when my mother
was twelve years old. It was in the
early spring, and the family walked
the whole distance, carrying their few
effects and implements in their arms
or upon their backs.
Arrived at their destination in the
shadow of Mount Monad noc, they
speedily built a log house over a large
flat rock at the foot of an abrupt ledge
that not only formed one side of the
house, but with the help of a few care
fully adjusted stones made a natural
Groplace and chimney with a hearth
stoue that served as a floor to their one
, room. At first they were very home-
I Bick, but as the season advanced they
I all with the exception of my mother
j became wonted.
Ihe great gruesome mountain was
from the first a terror to her, and she t
was never able to overcome her dread
of it >s the days grew short and cold
in the autumn, her homesickness in-
creased and all the resources available
were brought in play to divert Susanna,
or Zanna, as she was called. She had I
daily lessons in spinning, weaving,
knitting and sewing, ijvory day she
learned by heart a portion of Scripture
and psalm, and she fcod lessons from
the few books they hail brought, for
my grandfather was well educated for
those times and highly prized his few
volumes of history and poetry.
The early winter was very cold, but
f u ? w 1 anc * Sf am e was scarce, so
at for a time the family were rc
*C to ! a ? iet of roa tcd potatoes and
salt and johnny-cake. "If only we
c a tho father would
say " ' 0 aro flLt hears on the
south side of the mountain, and if we
could pet one the meat would last us
all winter." "Perhaps the Lord will
send us one," the mother would reply;'
but no bear made its appearance, and
they were forced to be satisfied with
an occasional rabbit.
At this juncture the nearest neigh
bor, who lived four or five miles away, I
came, begging the house mother to go j
to his sick wife, and my grandmother
took the opportunity to accompany her
and at the same time carry a bag of
corn to mill.
"Don't let Zanna get lonesome,"
was the last instruction given the
two boy6—"talkative 'Dial" and "silent
Aaron," as they were called in tlie
family.
As Zanna watched the little party of
three disappear in the dark forest her
heart sank. "There will come a
Snowfall," she cried, dcsparingly, "and
our father and mother will be unable
to come home and we shall starve to
death." At this Abial began singing,
dancing and cutting all sorts of pranks
and unties on the big rock that formed
the floor of the cabin.
One thing they had in plenty and
that was wood, and they kept a contin
ual roar in the stone chimney, pulling
tho live coals far out on the rock until
it was warm for several yards from the
fireplace. Here they sat and talked and
talked and sang songs until Zanna was
actually laughing, and then she sighed.
"We must not carry on so; a judgment
will come upon us, surely."
"I hope it will come in the shape of a
bear," said 'llial, "and we will coax it
in and kill it."
"Oh, don't talk so," cried Zanna, "but
help me now to get supper." Ho Abial
took a peck of potatoes and buried
them in the hot ashes and pounded some
salt with a stone pestle on a clean place
on the rock. As soon as one of the po
tatoes burst its coat enough to steam
up, showing that it was cooked, it was
raked out with a long wooden fork,
and Zanna ate roast potato and salt
faster than her brothers conhl brush off
the ashes and pare them for her.
When the coat of one was not in just
■the right condition to be eaten they
would throw it back upon the fire.
"Oh, boys, don't be so wasteful," Zanna
would say. "You should throw all the
crumbs and morsels out for God's dear
little birds."
They topped off their meal with corn
parched in tho ashes, and as this was a
never-failing diversion they kept it up
until the full moon arose and looked In
at the logcabin's one window, a narrow
sash with small glass panes that grand
father had brought in his arms all tho
way from Massachusetts.
Now, as Zannn looked sad again,
Abial began talking to the moon.
s "You look bright and beautiful, for
all you are so old," he said. "Will you
not tell us what you can see at this
raoraeni? This is the first day of the
new year, and Christinas is not far bo
hind us; tell us what they are doing in
merry England, where we are told that
friends remember each other with gifts
at Christmastide and sing carols to
celebrate. Tell us if it be wrong, in
deed, it seems a goodly fashion, to re
joice over the birth of the new-born
King, the Prince of Peace. Do you re
member Him, oh, moon? Did you
smile down at Him on the plains of
Judea as you are smiling at us this
wintry niglit? And can you remember
the garden of Eden, and Adam and
Eve, and Moses and Aaron—here you
see a namesake of his away in this
western wilderness."
"Oh, dou't, 'Dial, don't!" whispered
•'ALL READY; TAKE AIM; FIEK1 W
Zanna, "or judgment will surely come I
upon us."
"Let it come in the form of a bear, J
we pray thee, moon, and with thy i
wondrous light show us how to catch
and kill him; let him be fat and not too
old, and let him have a soft, shaggy
skin that we can spread on our broad
hearthstone here for our own coin
fort"
"There is something coming through i
the clearing," said silent Aaron, who
stood by the window. "I saw it as it
came out from the shadow of the
wood."
The others ran to the window. "I
can see it," said 'Bial. "I believe it is
a bear, and if it should so prove, oh |
moon, we will give thee thanks for ;
showing it to us and accept it as a gift ;
from God at Christmastide."
"It will be a New Year's gift, and
that our mother says is right and j
proper," said Zanna; "but she says also j
that all good gifts are from God, and '
that it is unseemly to select a day and
set it apart as having more significance
than other days."
"If it is a bear I shall take it as a
token that the making of gifts at this
season is a Christian duty," said Abial, 1
"and by ray good rigiit arm I thinks
mo it is a bear."
"Oh, 'Bial, don't carry on so," sobbed
Zanna. "Aro you not afraid?"
"By no means, although he is doubt
less a very hungry bear. The smell of
the burning potato skins tempted him
to come out We must kill him."
"But how, 'Bial?"
"The old gun is here. I will get It
We will leave the cabin door open and
all go up in the loft When he comes
in I will roach down through aud close
the door, that will ho easy, and then I
will shoot hirn. The gun is now loaded
with powder and slugs for largo game."
"I do not believe in Its being a bear,"
said Zanna; "I have heard that tlioy
curl up and slqajiaU winter-"
"The mother bears do that," said
Abial, "but the father bears sometimes
go out on fine days when there is no
| snow for them to burrow under. Their
; habit is to curl up in some snug place
and allow the snow to drift over them,
lie must be tired waiting for snow, and
the smell of those potato skins was too
I much for him and he thought he would
j come out and get a bite for himself. Go
i up in the loft, Zanna!"
| "Poor thing! Do you think we ought
to make way with him, 'Dial? The In
; dians, even, dislike to kill bears."
"They make it right by apologizing
I and excusing themselves; wc can do as
much us that There, go up, Zanna;
and Aaron, you go too. I will open the
door and put some johnnycake down
near the lire to make a savory smell." - j
The bear came slowly, sniffing like a
large bog. Perhaps ho thought the
firelight shining from the cabin-door
was sunshine, for ho quickened his
pace, and as he sniffed the wnrin air
grunted with satisfaction, and was not
long in entering the door standing in
vitingly open.
The three children looked down at
him through the cracks of the hewed
staddlc floor of the loft as he walked
about on the great flat, warm rock,
winked and blinked at the fire and lay
down and stretched himself and rolled
over in enjoyment of the genial warmth,
lie took no notice when the door wars
closed, but continued to show his in
tense enjoyment ol the situation.
"You are a beautiful animal, Mr.
Bear," said Abial, "and 1 am very sorry
to bo so situated as to be obliged to
kill you. f pray you to excuse me—no
Indian could say more. I am very
thankful o*n our own account, and no
white man could saj' less. All ready,
take aim!—fire!—l can't pull the old
thing off; put your finger back of mine,
Aaron."
Bang! went the old fuseo. They
looked down; the cabin was full of
smoke; as it cleared, Zanna was the
first to whisper: "lie is dead!"
"Yes, he is dead, oh moon," said 'Rial,
going to the window. "1 take pleasure
in making haste to toll you, for even
you can see no further than your light
shines."
"You must not, 'Bial," began Zanna,
but silent Aaron said: "It bus proved
'Bial was not wicked The moonlight
did show me the bear and had he not
been talking to the old moon I should
not have gone to the window to get a
better look at it."
"Yes," said Zanna, "but it was the
Lord after all, and it has proved to me
that He is just as able to care for us
away off up here as He was when we
were at our old homo—and I never will
doubt Him again."
"Now we must off with his hide,"
said 'Bial. "Isn't it shaggy? Wo will
cover a settle for mother and Zanna
with it"
While they were excitedly getting
their knives ready, they heard their
I father's 6tcp, and never were there
! three prouder children than the three
i who opened the cabin-door and exliibi
i ted their big game. The bear's coat
was carefully tanned and was for many
years used for a great variety of pur
poses—for a wrap as warm, if not as
stylish, as the ones you girls now
| wear—for a rug and a bed-covering
! long after Abial and Aaron were both
dead.
Ablal died at eighteen. "He had a poet
soul," grandmother always said, when
"peaking of him. Aaron was killed in
; the war of the revolution.
The family moved back to Massachu
setts, and Zanna could novor be per
suaded to go back in sight of Mount
Monad noc, for a day even, although
she lived to bo an old woman*' She
profited, however, by that early ex
perience, and her motto in all times of
emergency was always: "The Lord
will provide."—Annie A. Preston, In
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

THE praetor was a magistrate elect
ed for the purpose of administering
justice when the consuls were absent
from Rome. There were two praetors,
one for the city and one for places at
a distance.
I.MPEIIATOR was originally a title of
honor bestowed 'on a victorious gen
eral. After the downfall of the repub
lic it became the title of the supreme
ruler, and had the sense of our word
emperor.
THE only genuine sheikh is the gov
ernor of Medina. Ills office is said to
date from the time of the Prophet. It
is now generally applied as an hon
orary title to the head man of an Arab
village.
TIIE title grand duke was of medi
eval origin, being first found in Mos
cow in the eleventh oentury. It trav
eled to southern Europe in 1569, when
Pius V. bestowed it on Cosmo de
M edict
LANDGRAVE the only one of the
old Teutonic titles that survives. It
was invented in 1130 by Louis of Thur
ingia, to distinguish himself from the
crowd of Grafs who filled the German
courts.
AMONG ancient and medieval sov
ereigns the universal custom was to
give a list of the various countries
over which the monarch ruled, or was
supposed to rule, and the relation he
bore to each.
